This is the hilarious moment a Ferrari fan chopped down a tree to get a better view of Lewis Hamilton.
The seven-time world champion began his love-in with the Italian team when he stepped into the cockpit of their new SF-25 car for the first time in Maranello.
Hamilton's first spin sparked mayhem among Ferrari’s fiercely loyal Tifosi support.
But a tree blocked the view of hundreds who visited the F1's team base to get a glimpse of the Brit at the Fiorano circuit.
One fan took matters into his own hands and was spotted making his way up a 25ft tree to chop it down with an electric saw.
There were cheers from supporters as the obstruction tumbled to the ground.
Hamilton completed a quick turnaround for the 9 am run, having been on stage at London’s O2 Arena the previous night as the teams unveiled their new livery.
There, he had spoken about how he had been “invigorated” about his challenge with the Scuderia.
Hamilton, 40, also aimed a dig at his former tea,m Mercedes, by saying his new car was nothing like he had ever experienced.
He said: “I’m conscious of the fact that there are only a handful of special first times in life — the first kiss, the first date, the first time at school, the first time in the job.
“I honestly thought I’d had all my firsts and nothing would be new again.
“Given I’ve raced for so long, even I’m surprised at just how much I still love what I do — it felt so new.
